Product Description

The people of the Covenant have abandoned all weapons
of war and have buried their swords deep in the earth. One
thousand five Anti-Nephi-Lehies will die because of this
valiant pacifist act. And even though an equal number of
warring Lamanites will convert to the gospel of Christ after
witnessing the faith of the martyrs, Abish will struggle
over her husband’s death for decades to come — their two
children a daily reminder of Jared, the man she loved.

Although she perseveres, raising Jarum and Miriam on her
own, Abish battles to embrace forgiveness — since each day
she must confront some of the same people who took her
husband’s life. As Abish’s unsettled feelings continue, unrest
among the Lamanites mounts with the threat of war
becoming a nearly constant companion to Abish and her
children — leading her son, Jarum, to a heroic decision.

Will this mother be able to find love again even while she
tries to rekindle the strong faith she once had? Will her son
be safe in his new life as a warrior for Helaman? Talented
author K. C. Grant paints a compelling and inspiring work
of fiction that highlights the real story of the Book of Mormon —
the testimony that Christ the Savior came for all
people and that faith in Him can overcome all fear.

Touching storyBy Todd, Submitted on 2015-02-25

This was a great follow-up to the first book, but I could have read it alone and still found it interesting.

I liked seeing Abish as a mother and seeing what the other mothers of the stripling warriors could've been like as well.
